First off, I apologize if this was already covered, I did some searching but couldn't find anything on this.
I've made a few corncobs this past couple years, but I've got a TON of oak that I want to turn into some pipes. But I'm getting tired of using wood stems (they leave a weird taste in my mouth after a while) and wanted to get some "real" stems. The only problem is, I want to make some of them bent, but my local tobacconist (sp?) doesn't carry any stems, and I can't find any place online that carries bent stems. Am I looking in the wrong way? Or is it just that its way to early and I've been up way to long and my brain stopped using what few cells I have left and I missed something obvious?
